Description
There are two large double bedrooms and the largest has an en-suite shower room. The property is well presented throughout and includes a cottage garden to the rear aspect, providing an outdoor space suited to planting and seating. The current owner has recently installed new wooden flooring and doors to the ground floor accommodation, including the external uPVC doors.
Set in a popular semi-rural location, Bignall End has a village feel while still being accessible to nearby amenities. Daily needs can be met in the surrounding area, with further shopping, services and leisure options available in nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme and central Stoke-on-Trent.

Public transport is available from nearby stations such as Alsager and Longport, both typically within a 10–15 minute drive, offering services towards Crewe, Stoke-on-Trent and beyond. From Stoke-on-Trent station, rail connections to Manchester and Birmingham are available, with journey times often around 45–60 minutes depending on service. Bus routes operate through the wider area, providing links to surrounding villages and town centres.
Local schools and educational facilities are available within the Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme areas, with a range of primary and secondary options accessible by car or public transport.
With its two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and rear cottage garden, this terraced house for sale offers a practical layout in a semi-rural village setting.
The property is connected to mains electric, gas, water & drainage, however buyers are advised to verify that the property is connected to mains utilities and to confirm all services independently.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
